H TEXAS ELECTION.

The election on the constitutional
amendment in Texas, Thursday,
proved disastrous for prohibition.
The ants claim the State by all the
way from forty to eighty-five thou
sand majority, and the prohibitionists
concede their defeat by fifteen thou
sand.
This battle is lost, but not the cause.
Prohibition is as certain to prove tri-
umphant in this country as time
rolls on. The prohibition sentiment
is gaining strength every day, all
over the United States, and it will
continue to grow until the liquor
traffic is swept from our fair land and
every saloon door in this country
closed. 1t takes time to accomplish
such great revolutions, and nothing
is more plainly written upon the
prophetic pages of future history than
the doom of whisky and its ruinous
reign. We shall not falter in the
fight, or grow discouraged over the
Lone Star. Let T~ennesseans only
gather new strength and courage for
the conflict.

AN MATTER.

The ants will resort to every trick
and device to defeat the proposed
amendment, and one of these will be
to prevent the opening of the polls at
as many voting precincts as possible.
1t is important that prohibitionists
should consult with the sherifis of
every county in the State, and see
that reliable men who will do their
duty faithfully are APPOINTED to open
and hold the election at every voting
place. Don't delay this matter, but
see to it at once, as the loss of one
precinct in each county would easily
change the Eesult of the election.

WI have before us a copy of the
Atlanta Constitution of July 24th,
which is a superb paper of 40 pages,
and the exposition it gives of Allan
ta's marvellous progress within the
last year ought to convince any sane
man that prohibition has in that
short period given to that city a new
and wonderful growth. They esti-
mate that the present year will show
an increase of 1000 inhabitants at its
end. Already 81, 500, 900 have been
added to its banking capital this
year. 1t already has seven trunk
lines of railroad, and four others are
building. This does not look like
prohibition has done Atlanta any
harm, on the other hand the eloquent
facts prove beyond all cavil that At
lanta has experienced greater pros
perity under the operation of prohi-
bition than at any other period in its
history.

Change of Name !

To the Standard.
The New Era editors are asking for
a change of name from Anti Pro-hi-
bi-tion-ists to "Publicans." Now the
Publicans were tax gatherers who had
deserted their own Jewish people far
enough to take Office under the Ro-
man empire and to help force their
oppressed brethren to pay tribute to
the Roman emperor.
This is significant in the Era man
agement. Kinney, the chief of the
new Publicans has been here; Kinney,
the great mogul tax gatherer from an
oppressed people. Kinney and his
followers no doubt want the tax.
But our New Era folks seem to
know the scriptures and they have
read st. Matthew, Dist chapter and
91st verse, in which the Saviour class
es them with harlots, not without
hope however.
Now we are perfectly willing that
the Era men call themselves Publ
cans, provided their chief, Kinney will
take the lead and 60 to the Lord as
old Zaccheus, chief of the old Publ
cans, penitently did, and say, "Be-
hold, Lord the half of my goodsl gire
to the poor and if l have taken
anything from any man by false
accusation l restore him four
fold.'-Luke 1913. And let us
hope that as the Era men want a
change of namethat they comes sthe
Publican of old, shifting their breasts,
each one of them saying, "God be
merciful omeasinner."- Luke1S-13.
Let us also hope that the Era men
willthus raise themselves to first class
Publicans by timely restitution and
true repentance.
We will still hold to The highly
honored name PROHIBITIONIsT.

WHILE thecropsi in many se%ctionso of
Tennessee are burning up for want of
rains, floods are devastating the great
er part Of Georgia. In some counties
of that state the loss to growing crops
is estimated at 100000. More than
three-fourths of the city Of Augusta
was covered with water from one to
six feet deep a few days ago, but the
rains having ceased now and the wa
ters are subsiding.

The policy is continued, as we OBJ
serve from last weeks Standard, of
offering a division of time, in public
discussions, to any anti-prohibitiOnist
"who comes endorsed by his party"
In other words, freedom of speech to
all is denied and that right is only
recognized to exist in the class who
may be fortunate enough, with money
or favor, to purchase Endorsement

Now look here, brother Spurfock,
didn't you get just a little mixed in
the above? In the last sentence
didn't you intend to say those poor
unfortunates Who have been purchased
with the money or favors of the
whisky protective association? OF
course we can understand hat you
meant these, and it is SO generous in
you thus to "cloak them with chart
ty." And don't you remember,
brother Spurlock, how the prohibit
ton committee have used all their
powers of persuasion and importuna-
cy, once or twice with your able as
sistance, to induce the local anti ora
tors to make joint appointments for
discussions in this county, and not a
mothers son of them could be moved
to such an open and manly course?

by the prohibitionists to acknowledge

ceal the fountain head of the anti

that the whisky protective association
will endorse any man who will take
the field against prohibition, and pay
him for his services if he asks it

WE wonder if the Era really in
tended to be humorous in saying that
it makes prohibitionists mad for any
body to disagree with them: Its buff
foonery is almost amusing. We are
told in a fable that a mean and con-
tentious wolf once grievously COM
planned against a lamb for muddy

flowing from the former to the latter.

The article in last weeks Era under

but carrying out the specific man

indeed surprised that our heightened

be used as the tool of such a gang.
The program of the whisky protect

munities is to use the old gag that
" prohibition will split the Demo-
cratic party" to whip Weakened
Democrats into the ranks of the an
tbs. In Republican communities the
terms are simply transposed, and the
party lash is applied to drive Repub-
licans from their honest convictions
to the support of whisky's cause.
Wherever this whisky protective as
ISOLATION has effected any organiza4

pointed in both parties to work this

it being in no sense whatever a party

"KEEP it before the people" that
